He provocatively rereads the Yahwist (or \"J\") writer, Jeremiah, Job, Jonah, the \u003ci\u003eIlliad\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e, Dante's \u003ci\u003eDivine Comedy, Hamlet, King Lear, Othello,\u003c\/i\u003e the \u003ci\u003eHenry IV\u003c\/i\u003e plays, \u003ci\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/i\u003e, Blake's \u003ci\u003eMilton\u003c\/i\u003e, Wordsworth's \u003ci\u003ePrelude\u003c\/i\u003e, and works by Freud, Kafka, and Beckett. In so doing, he uncovers the truth that all our attempts to call any strong work more sacred than another are merely political and social formulations. This is criticism at its best.
